Best Destination Wedding Welcome Bag Ideas

Destination weddings are not only beautiful and romantic, but they are also very special. Everyone attending a destination wedding feels like they are going on a vacation, in addition to celebrating the love of a close-to-heart couple.

One idea to show appreciation to your wedding guests is to give them beautiful wedding favors. But if your guests are traveling to attend your destination wedding, then you should make them feel extra special, and one way to show those who have taken the time out to attend your destination wedding, is to present them with a welcome bag or basket.

Many couples prepare beautiful wedding goodie bags that are filled with gifts, souvenirs, and favors. These can be in the form of bags, boxes, baskets, sacks.... whatever works best for you.

Ask the management at the resort or hotel, to hand them to the guests when they check-in, or place them in their rooms. There is nothing quite like arriving into your hotel room to find a beautiful and thoughtful welcome bag filled with goodies right there with a personalised note from you both.

The more details you offer them the better it is, you won't be overwhelmed with everyone calling you and asking you the same questions constantly.

Make sure you attach a nice welcome note to your wedding guests to make them feel special and welcome to your destination wedding.

Fill Your Bags According to Your Destination

Before you start working on your wedding welcome bags for your destination wedding, take into consideration your wedding destination itself.

For example, for a beach wedding, fill your welcome bags with useful things your wedding guests will need during their stay like flip flops, towels, sunscreen, and even glass bottles filled with water or juice for a special touch.

For a winter destination wedding, you can add a shawl or pashmina, a hot chocolate kit, an umbrella, a hat, a chapstick, moisturiser, facial masks, and other details inspired by a winter destination.

Snacks and Treats

Everyone loves delicious treats and snacks, so add some savory and sweet snacks to your welcome wedding bags, and even better yet, add local snacks from the place that you are in.
